those 124 coupes are very very nice looking.

I think so too. You need to round out the collection. I like the W123 coupes. The W126 coupes seem to be too big for me.

Mine weighs 3650. What does your 124 weigh?

They drive small.

300TE = curb weight = 3590 pounds

300CE = curb weight = 3505 pounds

put a nice aluminum v8 under the hood and the car suddenly feels small.

I believe those numbers are dead on the money. Look like the numbers MBUSA used to have ( & I read years ago) on their website.

On price, the coupe was about 8-8.5k higher than the sedan in 1988. Think the msrp on the 4 door was about 46k or so.

Wonder where the other 2,733 1988 coupes are?

Try this link to the 16 year model overview of the E320 coupe.
I can't find these production and price figures posted there any longer.
But if memory serves me correctly, the figures from post one are correcet.

MUSA no longer has that information.

I am sitting at Enrique's shop. brought the coupe in for a change of bodily fluids (I always like to do that everytime I buy a "new/used" car.)

Sitting across from me is "fpharryc." He lives in Fresno, but he drives all the way down to L.A. to have Enrique work on his cars.

I love this community of friends, bound together by our love of Benzes.

He owns a white 1990 300CE with grey interiors. Enrique is working on it today. It is a very nice and classy looking car.

It feels like a coupe convention here today.

These are defintely limited production numbers for these cars. No limited editions just limited production!

But General Ripper, I thought only the commies were after our precious bodily fluids?

BENZ-LGB's new 91 300CE is a jaw dropping beauty. It is such a pleasure by just looking at it. My arctic white 90 300CE appears to be somewhat boring.

My 300CE got a good exercise today. Round trip 460 miles. I poured in a bottle of BG44k into the fuel tank on my way home. Those carbon deposit cleaned out by Enrique from the EGR tube intake side really made me sick. Anyway, my NOx is way down now. At least it is a relief.

That's not true: there was in fact a Limited Edition called the 300CE SPORTLINE:

It included the following features:

Sportline badging on front fenders and on gearshift knob

Sportline shocks and suspension with stiffer springs and dampers and a slightly lowered stance

Sportline steering wheel (slightly smaller than stock) with a quicker steering ratio for faster turning

Sportline seats with better bolsters and firmer thigh support for sportier driving

Sportline leather covered gearshift knob

Wider wheels and tires

The Sportline option is the factory limited edition and is extremely rare and coveted. Stevge Nervig of mbcoupes.com owns one and I have seen it, it is very nice. In the UK you could get this option on the wagon also.

The Sportline option was also available on the W201 190 series.
